The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award--
given to "a creative producer who has been responsible for a consistently high
quality of motion picture production." (It is considered the
highest accolade a producer can receive.)

NOTE: Technically, Oscars for documentaries are given to the film itself, not any
individual producer, director or production company. However, the Academy does
usually name an
individual or company/organization to accept the Academy Award nomination and/or Oscar on behalf of
the film. Thus, when THE FIGHTING LADY (1944) won the Best Documentary
Feature Oscar, the award itself was presented to the United States Navy, not
Wyler who had directed it. Because this Oscar was not awarded to
Wyler as an individual, it does not count towards his personal tally of
Academy Award nominations or Oscars.
